The Video Where I Wear A Nursing Bra - Evenflo Breast Pump Giveaway!
So here it is. The post where I wear a nursing bra and talk about breastfeeding. I nursed my baby for ten months, and I’m honestly really glad that I did. Whether you nurse for six weeks or two years, there are some wonderful items out there that will make your breastfeeding experience easier, more comfortable, and in so doing, more rewarding (read: less painful) for you and your baby.
Watch the video for deets, but my breastfeeding essential list includes:
- Lansinoh Lanolin
- Soothies Gel Pads
- A wide assortment of pillows, a breastfeeding pillow like The Boppy , and a footrest of some sort
- Nursing bras (I’d say at least five), button down shirts, button down pjs
- Nursing pads - consider either disposable ones like the Evenflo Comfort Select Disposable Nursing Pads, or ones made from cotton or bamboo that you can wash and reuse. Etsy.com has a wonderful assortment available.
- Support! And I’m not just talking about your bras, kids. Whether it’s a lactation consultant, La Leche League, a breastfeeding support group, or your friend Sarah, support is essential. Consider also the books: So That’s What They’re For
and The Nursing Mother’s Companion.
And finally, a breast pump is a definite must-have for nursing moms. I think the opportunity to share in feeding your new baby is one of the best gifts you can give your partner. Plus, why not pass off one of those nighttime feedings to someone else? And stock breastmilk in the freezer for those times you can’t be home for a feeding. Pumping can be challenging, but it’s well worth the effort in my view.
Want to win a super nice new pump? Read on!
I’m so excited to be giving away the new Evenflo Comfort Select Dual Automatic Cycling Breast Pump and two boxes of their Disposable Nursing Pads to one lucky Babies Gotta Have It reader! How cool is that?
I’ve been reading up on this pump on their website and it looks like it has a lot of great features.
- All the components are BPA-free and contain less than .01% phthalates! Hooray!
- Gentle vacuum curve and increased cycle time for more effective, comfortable pumping.
- AC power adapter so you can plug it in!
- Sleek, streamlined design. You can definitely take this pump on the go with you. It’s compact and comes with a carrying case.
- A stable bottle stand to prevent spillage! Cuz believe me, after you pump it you so don’t want to spill it.

Hmmm… I have a manual pump right now, and it works okay because I rarely leave my baby, but it would be SO nice to have an easier option! I’m loving the sound of this giveaway.

My baby girl was born with Cystic Fibrosis and was in the ICU for nearly 2 months having 2 surgeries. My breast milk is best for her but renting a pump has gotten too expensive. I want to keep up my supply, which is running low. Thanks for this chance for a wonderful give-a-way!
